Indians ready to trade Bradley in spring training turmoil
The Indians barred center fielder Milton Bradley from camp after he failed to run out a popup, prompting GM Mark Shapiro to explore trades with eight teams. Bradley, 25, had a .421 on base last season with 10 homers and 56 RBIs but dealt with injuries and a troubled history. Wedge said the separation was a collective decision.
